Thread on the Senate Judiciary Committee revealing that they interviewed 2 men who each claimed they were the ones who assaulted Ford, not Kavanaugh. 1/
2/ Ford’s legal team tells CNN’s @Arianedevogue: “The Committee fails to point out that they found this to be NOT credible. This last minute attempt that seeks to undermine Dr. Ford won't work.”
3/ Here is what the committee reported within its larger timeline:
4/ “Sept 24: Committee staff have first interview with a man who believes he, not Judge Kavanaugh, had the encounter with Dr. Ford in 1982 that is the basis of his complaint. He submitted a written statement earlier in the day.”
5/ ”Sept 25: Committee staff have a second interview with a man who believes he, not Judge Kavanaugh, had the encounter with Dr. Ford in the summer of 1982 that is the basis of her allegation. He described his recollection of their interaction in some detail.”
6/ “Sept 26: Committee staff receives a more in-depth written statement from the man interviewed twice previously who believes he, not Judge Kavanuagh, had the encounter in question with Dr. Ford.”
7/ Also Sept 26: “Committee investigative staff spoke via phone with another man who believes he, not Judge Kavanuagh, had the encounter with Dr. Ford in 1982 that is the basis of her allegation. He explained his recollection of the details of the encounter.”
8/ I asked Sen. @maziehirono about this earlier. She said: “If these two people want to come forward and put names to their admissions, that's what we need. But again this is yet another turn of events that only continues to point out why the FBI investigation needs to occur...”
9/ “... so that there is some sensible way for us to sort through all of this. I think it is bizarre that at this point two people come forward and say, yeah, we committed a crime. Really? Why don't you put your names to it?”
10/ That’s all I got as of now on this. More as it develops — if it does.
11/ just saw this —
.@LindseyGrahamSC on these two men who claim it was maybe them not Kavanaugh who assaulted Ford: “One’s crazy as a loon, I don’t believe the other one. I’m not going to play this game.”
